Patent GB-0017058-D0 (GB)
Title: Purification of air
IPC: A61L9/20
Filed: 2000-07-11
Abstract: An air purification system for purifying recirculated air eg in an aircraft, vehicle, offices or hospitals comprises the combination of a filter section with an ultraviolet illumination section and a coating of an antimicrobial agent on surfaces in one or both of the filter and illumination sections. Air flow through the illumination section is caused to be slightly turbulent by means of a multi-bladed fan being fixed in position between the filter and illumination sections. This increases the dwell time of contaminants in the illumination section.

Title: Transmission systems
IPC: B60W10/10
Filed: 2000-08-07
Abstract: A torque-transmitting system for vehicles has a main drive clutch operable by means of a clutch-actuator, a transmission, a shift mechanism for setting the transmission ratio, a selector lever allowing the driver to select between a neutral mode or a drive mode of the transmission, and electronic control means for controlling the clutch actuator and the shift. mechanism. The electronic control means will cause the clutch-actuator to disengage the clutch when the engine is started and to re-engage the clutch if the transmission has been left in neutral mode for a preprogrammed time period while the vehicle is standing still, so as to turn the input shaft of the transmission and thereby warm up the transmission oil.

Patent GB-0606962-D0 (GB)
Title: Secure Module
IPC: G06F21/10
Filed: 2006-04-06
Abstract: The invention relates to the provision of a secure module 108 (such as a SIM card) for incorporation within a portable networked device. The secure module 108 stores a time value which is kept updated while the networked device is online. The time value can then be used to facilitate the provision of time dependent services. When, however, the device is offline, the time value can no longer be kept up to date. By arranging that the SIM 108 keeps a transaction counter 218 that monitors the number of occasions that a given locally stored time value 214 has been used offline, the SIM may block the provision of time dependent services until it receives a suitable update time value 212 from the network.

After alignment and connection, constraints on the rotation and transverse movement are removed, leaving the connecting piece supported but free to move with up to five degrees of freedom.
Patent GB-0713149-D0 (GB)
Title: Connection between a client device and multiple host devices
Filed: 2007-07-06
Abstract: A method of handling a connection between a thin client device, such as a KVM dummy terminal, and a plurality of host devices. A client connected to a host device transmits a message to the host device requesting that the connection be transferred to a different host device. The invention uses a decentralised model, with no central arbitor, where the hosts control the session and switching functionality using a distributed algorithm. The switching may involve the hosts polling the client where the first host to detect the client connects to it. When a client relinquishes the connection, a different host can connect to it by the same polling method. Alternatively, a host may present a menu of different hosts to the user, and in response to a user selection the connected host disconnects and sends a message to the selected host instructing it to connect to the client device.

Title: Data transmission system
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1984-11-07
Abstract: A communication system comprises a main station 1 which defines a time frame containing a variable number of time slots. Each of a plurality of substations 2, 3, 4 etc., includes selection means for selecting a time slot for transmission of information to the main station. Each substation has an identity number and it divides this identity number by the number of time slots currently set by the main station. The remainder left after this division process is used to select the time slot in which the substation will transmit its information to the main station. If two substations transmit in the same time slot the mutilated time slot is recognised by the main station at 15 and 16 and the number of time slots defined at 17 for the next frame is changed so as to prevent repetition of such mutilation.
